THE TARIFF FIGHT,
Republicans TO Push the Contest In tn
Democratic Corner

Republicans to Push the Contest In the
Democratic Corner.
Icosy7Ight, 1857, by the California Associated Press,
WASHINGTON, December 3Oth - Repre-
sentative Browne of Indiana, who was a
member of the WAYS and Means Commit
tee OF the last Congress, and will again be
assigned TO that committee, is preparing a
tariff bill which he proposes to submit to
his colleagues on the Republican side of
the House for their approval as substitute
for any tariff bill the Democrats may bring
in. He thinks that there is a chance of
the Democrats bringing into the House a
bill OF such character that the Republi-
cans could not afford to vote against it. and
then whatever credit accrued from the
measure would go to the Democrats.
He proposes that the Republicans shall
have bill of their own, and then, if the
Democrats pass one of the same sort, the
Republicans can claim that they first made
the suggestion. He has not his bill entirely
ready yet, but he expects to complete it in
time TO submit to his party friends and get
it to the Ways and Means Committee be-
fore they have time to report bill.
In character it will not differ widely
from that which is liable to be taken bv
the Democrats as g compromise. 1t will
propose the repeal of the tobacco tax, and
of the entire duty on sugar, salt and lum-
Der. 1t will reduce the duty on some grades
of wool, or probably place the lower grades
of wool on the free list. It's aim will be to
take off articles entering into everyday
consumption, as far as possible. without
disturbing what he calls needed pro-
lection.

WASHINGTON, December 30th.-A cues.
ton of great importance to manufacturers
and producers on the Pacific coast was de-
cided to-day by the Secretary of the Navy
California and Oregon manufacturers are
hereafter to be admitted into fair competi-
ton with Eastern bidders in supplying
goods for use by the navy On the Pacific
coast. The question was submitted to the
Secretary by Representative Morrow in a
statement showing the ability Of San Fran
cisco merchants and manufacturers to fur
nish certain goods of the best quality and
at reasonable prices desired by ships of.
war fitting out at Mare Island Navy Yard
The present negotiations require delivery
and inspection in New York for nearly all
supplies, which of course gives a very de.
cided advantage to Eastern manufacturers
and producers in furnishing goods, even
when required on the Pacific coast Mr.
Morrow called the attention of the Secretary
to the fact that California producers are
able TO supply the French army in Tonquin
with canned goods, and that they were now
furnishing foreign men-of-war which visit
our ports with many of their supplies, but
under the present regulations they were
not admitted into fair competition for sup
plying our own vessels in Pacific waters.
The Secretary admitted the justice OF
this complaint, and at once made the fol.
lowing order, addressed to the Paymaster.
General of the Navy: " For goods required
by us for use in the Pacific, delivery might
be required to be made at Mare IslanC
Navy-yard, thus favoring the local market
which is proper. This is the correct rule
where there is a supply and fair competi
ton would be had at the point where the
goods are needed

PRESS RATES.
Cheap Service for Newspapers Under a
Postal Telegraph Law


WASHINGTON, December Both. Senator
Cullom will introduce an amendment to
his postal telegraph bill Immediately after
the reassembling of Congress, changing the
rates named in the original bill, more es-
pecially for the transmission of press mat
ter. While he believes Congress ought to
prescribe rates for the use of Government
wires, instead of leaving it to the discretion
of officials, yet the rates named in his bill
were designed merely as a suggestion to
the committee which should have the bill
IN charge With subsequent study, and
with information that has come to him
from many sources, he has reached the
conclusion that there ought be no differ
ence upon Government lines between serv-
ice of like character rendered to evening
papers and that to morning papers. He says
he appreciates that the weight of reason
which leads companies to charge more
for day than night service, namely-the
fact that the wires are in greater demand
for commercial messages at comparatively
higher rates during the hours from 10 in
the morning till = or ) in the afternoon,
but he believes that such reasons should
not operate as regards Government lines,
and that the Government should have no
preferred patrons as to rates for like classes
of business, or as to order of transmission
The rates to be named in his amendment
are based upon unit of 100 words or a
fraction thereof, and are as follows: For
500 miles or less, 25 cents; between 500
and 1000 miles, 30 cents; between 1000
and 1,5O0 miles, 30 cents; between 800
AMI 1000 miles, 40 cents; between 1000
and 5000 miles, 45 cents; and for more
than 5000 miles, so cents.
When more than one copy of the same
dispatch is to be sent to different newspa-
pers at the same or different offices, the
Postmaster-Generali is to prescribe the rates
for drop copies.

lCopygl, 1857. BY lie California Associated Press
NEW YORK, December 30th.-The Rome
correspondent of the Mait and Express de-
scribes the recent singular end of a VEN
delta in the village of Siti Saronia. The
description contains a few features that
were not stated in the dispatches received a
few days ago, and are OF interest, even if
in noticing them part of the first story is
repeated.
The vendetta began some years ago with
the murder of an aged woman named
Bellu. The son retaliated by cutting the
throat of the first member of the murder
er's family he happened to meet. There
after every member of both families went
armed, and hostile encounters were COM
mon. Recently the church and authorities
interfered and persuaded the families to
peace. One day the men of both clans
visited the church and swore to keep the
peace, and embraced and kissed each other
The next day it was the womens turn
Dressed in their finest they also swore peace
and forgetfulness. Two weeks ago peace
was celebrated at mass and $50 persons
kissed the crucifix held out by the Bishop
and promised to forgive and forget. After
this general banquet was spread for all
the surrounding country, at which were
laid twenty bushels of macaroni, ten cows,
seventy pigs, 600 pounds Of bread, 1000
pounds of fruit and twenty barrels OF wine.

An Indiana Community Claims the Right
to Renounce State Authority.

LOUISVILLE, December 3Oth.-The peo-
pie of the town of Clarksville, Ind, which
is situated between Jacksonville and New
Albany, on the Ohio river, are in great
state of agitation from various causes. One
is the seizure of their streets by the rail-
roads, the State and other parties. They
mean to protest vigorously. A movement
is now on foot to organize and hold an
election, and send delegates to the National
Congress and demand admission as g. Ter
ritory or District. under the old Virginia
charter, which they hold is still in force.
Clarksville, next to Vincennes, is the old
est town in Indiana. In October, 17S3
Virginia caused town to be surveyed on
the north bank of the Falls Of the Ohio
described as being situated in the country
of Illinois. This was to be laid off in
reservation of 10000 acres granted to
General Roger Clark and his men and Off
GERS who marched with him to reduce the
British posts at Kaskasla and Vincennes
The fee simple, together with the govern
ment of the town, was vested in ten
Trustees. On March 1, 1884, Thomas JEFF
ferson, Arthur Lee, James Monroe and
Samuel Hardy, in behalf of Virginia, exc
cuted a deed transferring to the United
States all the title of Virginia to the north
west territory, but expressly excepting the
rights of settlers under the grant to General
Clark, known as the Illinois grant. 1t is
maintained that the claim will have L
strong showing before the Supreme Court.

while Clerk of the Supreme Court, was be-
fore Judge Sullivan to-day for sentence.
His attorneys moved for new trial on the
grounds that the evidence was not suf-
icient to warrant q verdict of guilty, and
because of errors of the Court in instruc-
tons to the jury.
Judge Sullivan denied the motion, where
upon attorney w. 7. Baggett moved for ar
rest of judgment on the ground that the
offense of which the defendant was found
guilty was different from the offense upon
which the defendant was extradited from
Honolulu; that the Indictment under
which conviction was had was found since
the defendant was brought back from Hon
olulu, and that he was returned here under
q previous indictment
Judge Sullivan took the matter under ad-
visement, and continued the case until next
Friday.

PUSHING THINGS,
Tho Charges Against Gould and Sage TO
Be Prosecuted.

WASHINGTON, December 30th.-District
Attorney MARITIME to-day filed the follow
ing memorandum in the mater of the
charges made against Jay Gould and
Russell Sage by the bondholders of the
Kansas Pacific Railroad:
This is an application to present to the
Grand Jury the charge of Lawrence against
Jay Gould and Russell Sage, under Section
81 of the Penal Code. In my opinion, the
acts of commission with which the de-
PENDANTS stand charged constitute a crime.
A possible obstacle to the successful prose-
cution of the persons complained of is the
statute cf limitations, yet there are strong
reasons for believing that this obstacle is
not insurmountable. The statute under
which it is sought to prosecute may be so
construed as to enable the people to proceed
notwithstanding the statute of limitations,
and such construction would have much
support in reason and common sense. The
question is so close, and the interests in
volved here, as well of the people as of the
defendants, are so important that it seems
proper to leave the determination of this
question of law to the Courts
